Fortnite’s new Peak skin costs almost 3 times as much as the indie game it’s based on: ‘That’s actually a slap in the face to the Peak developers’

Friendslop’s officially made its way to Fortnite, as physics-based climbing ‘sim’ Peak now has a set of skins in Epic’s battle royale. That should be music to my ears, as Peak’s cheery scouts are impossible to hate—just look at their little faces! While they’re slightly less cute in Fortnite’s style, in large part down to them being taller now, it’s not the design players are having problems with.

Crunch the numbers as one Twitter user did, and Fortnite’s customisable Peak skin costs almost three-times as much as the original game. A Scout skin will set you back 2,000 V-Bucks, which is equivalent to $22.40 (or just $22.99 with the 2,400 V-Buck pack). That’s worth 2.8 copies of Peak. In other words, you could buy the game for yourself and a friend and a half, and have a merry old time climbing a mountain together. And yes, that’s just the cost of a single skin, not including the backpack, pickaxe, or wrap.
